The training will end with the simulation of a Board of Directors, in Paris.
The “Board advanced certificate executive education”, a certification program for company directors, from which these executives benefit, is implemented by the Chen African Institute of Business Management (Ciage), in collaboration with the Essec Business school, in Paris.
The program was launched this Tuesday, March 26, 2024, in Plateau, the business center of Abidjan, with 14 participants from various structures, such as banks, mines and the oil sector.
According to Michelle Beugré, associate director of Ciage, the objective of this training is to ensure that the competitiveness of companies is increased, in order to place them at the heart of their ecosystem, as major agents of economic development.
Today, “investors, shareholders and society demand exemplary business conduct. They want social leaders to develop the company in a sustainable and ethical manner,” noted Michelle Beugré.
She will add that responding to these ecosystem challenges requires dynamic boards of directors. However, the quest for good governance will increase the need for committed professional administrators.
Yves Aguton, coordinator of the program, indicated that it will take place over four months due to two working sessions per month; and the last session will be devoted to the simulation of a Board of Directors, in Paris, in the premises of Esssec business school.
As for the training modules, there are four including that on financial management, the dynamics of a board of directors, strategy, corporate social responsibility, risks in the management of a company, the secretariat of the board of directors and geopolitics.
He will add that this high-level training, provided, will be provided largely by professors and experts from Essec, from Paris, by video or in situ in Abidjan, with speakers in Ivory Coast.
When the subject includes local specificities, such as the governance codes of listed companies, the governance of state companies, the sessions will call on the support of local actors including the general director of the state portfolio, the BRVM players and financial experts.
For Michelle Beugré, associate director of Ciage, it is a question of demonstrating through this certificate, to investors, shareholders and the company that it is possible to have qualified directors, at the local level.
